My understanding was that the later setting will replace the previous setting
if it was not set when reading the conf from top to bottom. So that if any of
the setting is "-" it may be replaced. Also my understanding was that the
password in passwords.lst has the top priority, but I'm not sure anymore.
I made a little test:
=== binkd.cfg: ===
passwords passwords.lst
node 2:2448/44 ip1.localnet pass1 h
node 2:2448/44 ip2.localnet pass2 c
node 2:2448/44 ip3.localnet pass3 i
=== binkd.cfg: ===
